Regret

I see regret as “I knew it at the time, and wish I did it differently” against, “now that I know what I know, I would do it differently next time.”

The first is a violation of integrity, and the second is the result of learning. 

I learn a lot! And I’m not immune to regret. 

I often regret going against my intuition to avoid a hard choice. When I know - in my gut - that I should do/say one thing but do another, I experience regret. 

There is no antidote to regret. It’s set in stone. 

On the flip side, when I take the time to understand the situation, approach the decision-making process with integrity, and still fail, it’s not time for regret. It’s time to learn.
